Washington DC

"Why am I not at all surprised that this is the way you choose to find our witnesses" McGee said, shaking his head, looking around the hotel suite NCIS booked in order to bring in the call girls from the party.

"They are call girls, McGee." Tony smacked the back of his head, "do you have a better idea?" Tony settle comfortably into a large plush couch.

"He's got a point." Nick joined Tony on the couch, "So you guys basically just smack the crap out of each other constantly."

"Now you're getting it Stokes." Gibbs said, "Someone get the door."

"Boss no ones knocked..." Tony said as he heard a distinctive knock on the door, "Amazing hearing, Boss, I'll get the door."

"Hey, come on in." Tony smiled at the girls who all giggled and walked in.

"I'm Amber." A tall blond leaned towards Tony and whispered something in his ear, "That's Tiffany and Shana. I need to run your credit card and than we can get started."

"Is cash ok?" Tony asked pulling out a large wad of cash

"Smart man." Amber purred, "Cash is great." Tony completed the transaction, asking detailed questions that made McGee blush. As soon as the cash changed hands, Gibbs and McGee had their badges out.

"NCIS." Gibbs said, "You're coming with us."

"Sorry Girls." Tony smiled guiltily, "We've got to ask you a few questions."

NCIS

Interrogation Room One

Twenty Minutes Later

"Greg's going to kill himself when he hears that he missed this." Nick Stokes looked through the glass into the interrogation room that held three gorgeous call girls.

"I'll take this one, Boss." Tony looked at the call girls, wide eyed and grinning.

"In your dreams DiNozzo. I thought I told you to go schlep for Abby." Gibbs smacked Tony on the back of the head, "Catherine, would you care to join me?"

"Hookers." Catherine shook her head, "My favorite." They walked into interrogation. Not one of the girls bothered to get up.

"Amber, Tiffany and Shana" Gibbs read off of the list, "Personally I prefer your real names, Rebbecca Miller, Darlene Stratford and Mary Callahan. Listen, I have no interest in busting any of you."

"All we want is information." Catherine sat down and pulled out a PDA. "Three weeks ago, you worked a bachelor party." The girls looked at each other.

"We work a lot of bachelor parties." said the tall blond who called herself Amber.

"Do you usually work together?" Catherine asked

"Not together, together. If that's what you mean." Said Darlene, "Just the same parties."

"Unless you pay extra." The red head looked at Gibbs and winked.

"Three weeks ago. Bachelor party. Remember?" Gibbs played photos of the victim, smiling in his uniform.

"Victor, yeah." The blond smiled, "Nice guy. Didn't want to play, so to speak. That doesn't happen a lot. Especially since if it's already been payed for."

"Who did want to play?" Catherine asked gently.

"John and Tom were the only two guys really into the idea of actually doing anything." said Rebbecca.

"That one guy left really early. I don't even remember his name. And I remember all of my tricks." Said Mary.

"I was with the groom most of the night." Admitted Darlene.

"You doing any drugs?" Gibbs asked

"Just a little coke."

"What happened that night?" Gibbs starred her down. He could see the tears forming in her eyes as she began to remember something she obviously wanted to forget.

"Who are you afraid of?" Catherine asked, knowingly.

"There was another girl at the party."

"Rebbecca!" Mary gave her a looked that said, keep your mouth shut.

"Mary." Said Rebbecca, "We have to tell them."

"Fine." Mary relented, "Her name is Carly. She stayed long after the rest of us left. We know better than to stay over night when one of the johns is getting married the next day."

"She's the one who brought the coke." Said Darlene.

"Shut up" Mary said, "Don't blame the drugs on her, you're the one that brought them."

"Once again I remind you that we have no interest in busting any of you." Gibbs drank from is coffee grumpily. "So stop arguing. Why wasn't Carly at the hotel tonight?"

"She quit." Darlene said, "Three weeks ago."

"What happened that night?"

"All I know is that Carly was having a great time when we left." Rebbecca raised her eyebrows.

"So you left her alone." Catherine looked at them angrily, "You left her by herself in a room full of drunken Sailors."

"They only paid through four AM." Rebbecca said, "They refused to shell out anymore money so we left."

"What's Carly's real name?"

"Julie." Amber answered, "I don't know her last name. She goes to Georgetown.

"Julie Danner." Mary spoke up, "She's in my philosophy class."

"How many of you are in college?" Asked Gibbs. All three raised there hands.

"Lay off the coke and quit your night job." Catherine commanded, "Trust me when I tell you that this is not a path that you want to be on."

"You trick?" Mary leaned forward, trying to sound tough.

"I was a dancer." Catherine answered.

"I'm guessing you don't mean ballet." Mary smiled shyly and looked at the older woman, "Let me get you Julie's cell phone number."

Meanwhile in the Observation Room

The second that Catherine said the word dancer, Tony immediately remembered where he knew Catherine from. Winter break, Senior year. They went to Vegas and ended up at a club that Catherine danced at. The only stripper who's dance haunted him to this day. Her face was fresh in his mind. He grinned a the memory.

"Holy crap, I just remembered where I know Catherine from." DiNozzo said as he starred at Catherine through the two way mirror.

"Where?" Asked McGee and Ziva, eagerly.

"Oh Probie." Tony smiled and watched Catherine without answering. He tilted his head to the side and watched as she took the phone number from the girl and left the room. "This is good."

"Who wants to go pick up a call girl with me." Catherine smiled seductively at Tony, Nick and McGee.

"I'll take that offer." Tony smiled back and walked towards Catherine.

"You're suppose to help Abby." McGee reached out and pulled his hand away. "I will go with Catherine to pick up Julie Danner."

"No you won't." Gibbs walked out and quickly began walking towards the elevator, "The guys from the bachelor party will be here in an hour. Tony, Ziva, Brass, Stokes prepare to interrogate. McGee will go with Catherine to pick up Julie Danner."

"Thanks Boss." McGee smiled slightly and led Catherine into the elevator."

"Why are the rest of you just standing here?" Gibbs looked around at his team until they scattered. He sighed happily to himself when they were gone before turning and getting on the elevator. He had just enough time to go get coffee and a Caf!Pow for Abby.

Abby's Lab

Fifteen Minutes Later

"Gibbs." Abby said with a happy sigh before turning around and looking at him, "I love the smell of coffee and Caf!Pow. Especially when it's brought by a silver haired fox." He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips. She pulled him towards and deepened the kiss.

"Abbs."

"Shut-up and keep kissing me."

"Yes ma'am." He put down their beverages and pulled her into a proper kiss.

"Oh dear." Ducky stood at the entrance to Abby's lab and watched as Gibbs passionately kissed Abby. It was clearly not their first. He cleared his throat loudly and the couple jumped apart.

"Ducky." Abby and Gibbs said, simultaneously.

"Please just tell me that I'm not the last to know." Ducky said, looking at them wearily.

"Actually." Said Abby as she walked over to him, "You're the first."

"Well." said Ducky, obviously pleased, "I don't know what to say." Abby walked over to Ducky and hugged him tightly.

"You don't have to say anything." Abby whispered, "Just be happy for us."

"I am dear." Ducky said uncertainly, "I'm just surprised. Jethro, I need to see you in autopsy. I've discovered something that needs your attention."

"Bye boys." Abby smiled nervously. There was clearly an argument brewing between the two old friends.

Gibbs and Ducky walked into the elevator silently. Ducky pushed the button for Autopsy. The second the doors shut, both men reached for the stop button.

"Good god Jethro." Ducky stared at him angrily, "What do you think you are doing?" Gibbs looked up and squinted at the ceiling,

"I don't know." He admitted.

"Do you love her?" Ducky looked him in the eye.

"Yeah, Ducky. I really do."

"If you hurt her in anyway I'll kill you myself."

"I suspected as much." Gibbs nodded.

"We understand each other then." Ducky pushed the start button and the elevator began moving.

"Damn it, Ducky." Gibbs stopped the elevator again, "What the hell am I doing?"

"Don't worry, I doubt she'd ever agree to actually marry you."

"Anyone else would get a smack on the head for that comment." Gibbs started he elevator again.

"You realize that you've met your match." Ducky turned to Gibbs.

"Yup." Gibbs agreed grinning, "And unless you actually have something for me to see in Autopsy, I'm going to go see my girl."

"Please tell Abby that I really am happy for you... for both of you." Ducky smiled at him in wonder. Jethro was in love. The moment Ducky figured out that fact, he realized that while he had watched Gibbs get married three times, he had never actually seen Jethro in love before. It was an amazing sight to see.
